Oroville Piecemakers Quilt Guild Thank You for a JOB WELL DONE Jeanette Akin, Farewell to Terri Russell: Quilters are always quick to welcome new quilters as they pick up quilting, move to a new area, or just decide to join in finally. Many of us grow deep roots within our guilds and become longtime parts of our quilting communities. We have a member who we love and will miss, Terry is moving to Davis, CA about an hour drive from Oroville. As her many friends and acquaintances know, Terri has been an incredibly active member of the guild for more than 20 years. She is an inspiration to many of us quilters and new quilters and to many she is our quilting hero. We will miss her and wish her the best, Terri you will always be one of us, OPQG Quilting Sister.

3 Presenter s Photo Gallery Terri Russell Terri s Thank You: A heart- felt THANK YOU for the going away party. The cake was so delicious, and I enjoyed the extra piece sent home with me. The signature block that so many signed will be a precious memory. I enjoyed showing SOME of my quilts, I have given a lot away to family and to charity and some of those I showed have recipients names on them too. There is a story behind every quilt but not enough time to tell them. I did want the audience to know a lot of great outside and in-house teachers were the inspiration behind the quilts. The Guild has been very special place to go on Thursdays and the members have been so helpful in my quilting journey. You were all a big part of the healing process when I lost my husband. I will not ever forget that. I look forward to new quilting adventures (and finishing my UFO's) in my new home in Davis. 252 Quarter Circle Drive Davis, New Phone Number: (530) Starting Nov. 5.
